No TV Challenge

We don't have a television in the house, but my handy-dandy laptop enables me to watch TV. There are several programs I enjoy, but once I sit my butt down and get comfy I'll not move for hours! Thus the "No TV Challenge!" I started when we returned from visiting the in-laws in Houston. I haven't watched any TV in 4 days. So far so good. I've not really even been tempted to watch anything. When I think, "hmm, maybe I'll catch the latest episode of Bones" I instead grab my super fabulous Kindle and read. When I finish a book, I just download another. I've been reading a lot more and that's great, it's a better use of my time.

Also, there's always the kitchen calling me, "Come bake! Make something tasty!" So many more wonderful options than watching TV. Hopefully I can break my last "No TV Challenge" of 3 months. That was when I was single in St. Louis and boy did I ever bake. I made banana nut bread, cheesecake, cookies, brownies, and turnovers all from scratch and boy did my neighbors love me!

The hubby's been great about getting to work earlier and coming home at a reasonable hour which allows us to walk the dogs. Exercise that we ALL need! The dogs sure enjoy the walks and it's great to catch up with my sweetie about his day and what's happening in his life, how his book is coming along, etc. And, right now the evenings are spectacular! Nothing better than being outside in this wonderful weather.

Oh and there's card making and scrapbooking too! After our trip to Houston I want to capture all the fun in a little scrapbook. And with Father's Day, co-workers' birthdays, etc. coming up soon there are plenty of cards to be created. What fun!

Plenty to do, don't know why I'd ever watch TV again... well, at least not for more than 3 months as I want to break my previous record.
